People still put hope for government?

I p1ty anybody n0t mak1ng moves to leave th1s country.

How many people can actually leave this country realistically? Even if all western countries open their doors, how many Nigerians can afford to sponsor relocation abroad? A country where the minimum wage is less than $50 , u say make the people make moves to leave the country; with which money abeg?

I read this piece of write up and the first reply got me rolling.

True but funny

Na so the yeye electrician guy dey jump from one twitter post to the other to cap nonsense. I don't even know if the guy is a zombie or programmed bot.

The funny thing is its not as if he gets anything from APC for constituting nuisance online all in the name of supporting Tinubu & APC.

Even when the Benue people protested, their governor had them shot at and tear gas used to dispersed them. Now Imagine if they arm themselves ; won't the government go hard on them?

BlueRayDick:
He is an honorable man if u ask me. He has seen the disappointment Tinubu has been and I respect him for not trying to insult our sensibility by trying to what is black white.

Why did larride run away from this thread? He should come and defend his mentor as usual.

Ellexy:
“Political and community leaders in Benue State must act responsibly and avoid inflammatory utterances that could further increase tensions and killings.”


Wtf is even this statement from Tinubu? No prayer or condolence to the families killed in their sleep, just a callous and victim blaming statement. God forbid this kind of heartless leadership 💔


😫😫😫

Very insane statement that makes no sense at all.

iamoyindamola:
Blueraydick this was one of my point when i said the media houses can't do anything
It was so obvious emilokan have nothing for us apart from ohun lokan_ His birthright

But na people like me and u who lived under the shege Buhari's clueless APC government that still went ahead to reward them with another 4 years na. So what can we do?

iamoyindamola:
You are not getting it, we can't do anything
Shebi tomorrow if emilokan wan do second term we will vote for him?

That's where the issue is na. I mentioned it here that voting for APC in the 2023 was rewarding the party that produced Buhari(a failure) with another 8 years , yet people went ahead to vote same APC into power. They said all sorts of things to justify the unwise decision ; our people are the problem.

What is happening in Nigeria defies logic and I don't me or u can do much about it except the people are ready to do something about it themselves. Me I don do my quota by not voting APC , what more can I do?

diggz:
When it comes to security matters, Emilokan and his crew are completely clueless. Worse still, our entire security infrastructure has been reduced to nothing more than errand boys—used either to fight the opposition or to oppress the general populace.

If Nigeria were a serious country, the first question asked of anyone contesting for the presidency—or any elective office—would be for them to clearly articulate their roadmap for ensuring sustained security of lives, food security, and economic stability. They should also be required to present actionable plans to make the judiciary and other government institutions fully functional and truly independent from the influence of those who benefit from the country’s failure.

In an ideal scenario, Emilokan shouldn’t even come close to a second term, given his unprecedented failure on security, his complete lack of accountability, and his glaring absence of awareness or empathy—just like his predecessor, Buhari.

Somebody that they are already singing On your mandate we shall stand for in the house of assembly. The same house of assembly that should be summoning him to come and give account as GCFR why state security architecture is being overrun by non state actors in the North Central (Benue and Plateau) , North West(Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara And Niger states) and North East(Borno in particular).

Yet, it is the same senators and reps elected by poeple from those states that are part of the people endorsing him and sycophantly singing his praises while he's failing woefully at his job.

Baba when election comes people always throw away their sense of reasoning and be focusing on non issues. That is when u will see someone foaming in the mouth that because a candidate said the north is poor they won't vote for him. Smh

KingTom:
Very very shameful, so in his words he was briefed about India air crashes days before being briefed about Benue killings in his backyard

I'm here wondering what if the pope didn't mention the Benue incident yesterday during his prayers? Is it that the incident would be swept under the carpet as nobody in government mentioned it since Friday it happened to Sunday? So everyone would just move on like nothing happened?

The fact that he's acknowledging that he's just being briefed after the pope had commented on it shows he is not on top of anything as the GCFR. Sometimes I do wonder what exactly is the work of our DSS that is supposed to be secret police? Do they even have any intelligence report other than the normal news we all see in the media?

Buste

Blueraydick...youndon see say these are posting anything to.make it seem like the damages are equal on both sides.

Same way Adams posted an AI generated damaged toy and called it isreal jet

U Don see am na

When the figures refuse to add up, they resort to propaganda to make it look like things are going the way of the Iranians.

The Israelis have torched critical infrastructures like refineries, missile launch sites, nuclear facilities,military bases, oil depots and weapons factories. They have evidence to show for all that.

The nairaland Iranians claimed they downed Israeli jets and captured the pilots, but they are yet to produce evidence till now. Now okpa dey post another propaganda picture just to make them feel good since they see that nobody is rating them for targeting residential areas in Israel.

iamoyindamola:
If only we can channel the same energy we use for this middle-east war on the killings in our own country
They are killing them in benue like chickens

Are u not the same person that told me last week that we can only complain that there's nothing that will change?

Dangote to distribute PMS and diesel with free logistics nationwide.

Now this is how to win urself a chunky share of the market, not by asking government to stop importers and make u sole supplier of the product

KingTom:
Ojuyobo is calling on Gov Alia to be a 'statesman' and 'dialog' according to his post 1hour ago he 'was just briefed' about the Benue situation 🤮

It is shameful that the pope who is far away in the Vatican first our president to react to the tragic eveny that happened in his country.

Even the directive ojuyobo gave doesn't make much sense. Who does the Governor want to organize dialog with? Shey na people wey dey attack innocent people from their hideout in the forest?

From what I’ve seen, the pro-Iran side has been arguing that Israel can’t defeat Iran without U.S. support. Many of you on the pro-Israel side seemed to strongly disagree with that. But now, it sounds like you’re acknowledging—either directly or indirectly—that Israel wouldn’t be able to win without U.S. backing, even though many of the pro-Isreal supporters still seem convinced otherwise.

If you don’t mind me asking, what made you change your view on this—specifically, the idea that Israel needs no U.S. support to have a real chance of winning a war against Iran?

The so called pro-Iran side u are referencing have been the unstable ones who keep coming up with all sorts of narratives to make themselves feel happy while Israel keeps pounding the Iranian military.

Even when the Iranians attack Israel after the Hezbollah leader was unalived, the US and other allies assisted Israel in intercepting the Iranian missiles. So if anybody wish and hope the US look away while their ally is being attacked, they should keep wishing.

The Israelis have requested bunker buster bombs from their ally USA to effectively take out the nuclear threat the Iranians pose to them.

diggz:
Aren’t you actually reinforcing the point made by the NL pro-Iran supporters—that Israel can’t win this war without U.S. support?

Israel has always had US support even when there's no war to fight. They are economic and military allies.

We were all here when they were bitchhhing about Israel getting military aids from the US, nothing has changed. Israel will request what it requires to defeat their enemy from their allies ; it is what allies do. Nobody is stopping Iran from doing same

GloriousGbola:
iran does not really have allies per se

most of the arab world is sunni. iran are shia . to sunni arab muslims - shia are apostates who should be killed.

also iran have been poking at other muslim countries in the middle east.

they successfully attacked saudi aramco two years ago

they are the ones supporting houthis in a proxy war with saudi arabia for over 10 years

i cannot see pakistan a country with 80% sunni who will mob a man on the insinuation that he insulated the Prophet standing by iran

all they have is russia and south korea

i do not see china putting hand in this

but western nations while responsible for what iran became have their own beef

america lost 214 marines in beiruit in 1983. french and italians were also there. group may or may not have been affiliated with hezbollah

so nethenyahu may be looking for a libya style situation where western nations with scores to settle will jump on this

also likely because if isreal actually succeeds in pushing regime change in iran, they will need the rest of the world to try to manage the fallout

I know na.

There's a reason why their so called allies just kept sending them love letters from afar ; nobody wants to stick their neck out for them.

They will start singing another tune very soon.

I understand all that. Isreal no need anybody to mend Palestine and co. Why get one for Iran?

Why would they need allies to deal with Hamas terroristssss in their backyard? Does Nigeria need ECOMOG forces to deal with Boko Haram?

Scenes from one of the Israeli strike site where trucks which serve as transporter erector launchers (TEL) is taken out by the Israeli forces.

Footage from the site of an Israeli airstrike on the Hamedan Province of Western Iran earlier today shows the destruction of several trucks which appear to have been carrying ballistic missiles.

Israel is actually going after military installations and missile launchers to weaken the capability of the Iranian military.

Iran on the other hand is finding it difficult to even shout down a single Israeli fighter jet. The one rumored to be shot down two day ago, dem no gree bring evidence till now.

diggz:
Well, you may have a point. However, if that’s the case, it does seem like both parties might be struggling in their own ways sha—especially since Israel is receiving air support from the US and UK, while also pushing for direct US involvement in the war against Iran.


Just negodu Oblak! See as him almost dash PSG the third go…na wa!

The reason why coubtries have allies is for this kinda occasion. It is only normal for allies who have common interests to stand up for their own. Being allies is not just about lip service.

If Iran's allies would only support them with press release condemning Israel, then goodluck to them.

Shebi Nigerian ministry of foreign affairs sef Don release statement standing with Iran.

diggz:
Na wa sha.


If na true be this info…how come Iran still dey issue warning to Isreal citizens.

Omo….make dem sha finish this their war quick

They obviously would not admit openly that things are not looking good so as not to lose the trust of their citizens.

It is not unexpected that they will keep chest beating even when they ate suffering serious military and economic casualty

The number of missiles being fired at Israel by the Iranian state has been reducing which seem to suggest that they are most likely running out of launchers which the Israeli airforce has been hitting via air strikes.

Bimmarlykay:
I had to give you like & share...if Iran had their way, they'll obliterate every non-Islam and even some islam...

Isreal atleast is a known devil(if you call them devil).

They literally said dem no born Israel well to unalive Iranian leaders. Now Israel dey kpoof generals like civil defense na goal post shifting we dey see.

Emaprince:
No.mind those night crawlers.

Its a shame Adams cant even make a post durimg the day exceot at night. Lol

He said Iran can do this all day...meanwhile during the day, dem dey rest for the attack they manage launch...while their top heads and infractures are being hit.

How many generals have have been, hit on Isreali side? Adams dey celebrate civillians meeting their maker.

In drogba voice *its a fux..king disgrace*

People wey dey support Iran wey dey arm terrorists get mind to dey call other people names.

Person open eyes say na Iran wey dey supply ammunitions to terrorist groups he Wan dey stan. They still want to gaslight others that choose not to be part of their insanity.

No be juju be that?

Two more bite the dust Courtesy of Israeli air strike ❌❌

They don't want to be Gazad.😁

They know what's coming.

Our Nairaland Iranians will be using bragging to support them from the heart of Africa 😎

The Taliban calls on Iran and Israel to exercise restraint.

Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

Lmao 😂

Taliban dey preach peace. No be juju be that?

While dem dey write 3000 words essay here to support the Iranian regime, Iranians are trying to make their way out of the epicenter of the war for fear of what is to come from the Israeli forces
